HOTD + FOTD + OOTD + New Chi Chi Shimmer Brick

Stuff I used:

Maybelline Lash Stilhetto Mascara

Prestige Gold Eye Liner

Inglot Eyeshadow (Base)

NP Set Liquid Veil in Moscow Pink

Benefit Hellow Flawless Powder Foundation

Chi Chi Shimmer Brick in Rose

Loreal Eyeshadow

Sportsgirl Eyeshadow (Eyeliner)

This is my new Chi Chi Shimmer Brick. It retails from Target for about $20, but I was lucky enough to buy it on sale for half that!! Bargainnn. I absolutely love this. I bought it in "Rose". I absolutely love to have super shiney cheeks (don't care if thats tacky!), and it's great because it's buildable and gives a nice glow and gorgeous colour! Also, the top stripe (lightest colour) can be used as a brow bone/inner corner highlight :)

** As you can see in my FOTD, if you have some pimples, it will make them more noticeable! BUt that's like all shimmer/illuminators!

Usually I get full head of foils, but I haven't coloured my hair in about 3 months!! I really want my hair to grow, and so not only have I stopped bleaching it, but from today I have stopped straightening it! (except for weekends)

My hair dries insanely. It's all frizzy, not curly, not wavy, not straight? it's a mess! So I decided to bobby pin the hell out of it! I haven't perfected it yet, it's uber messy, and I need to loosen up the sides a bit, but you get the look I was going for! Any hair care/style tips would be appreciated!!

The above pictures were obviously taken when I hadn't dressed yet! Hence the no braaaa!! But this is what I wore today. I reckon it's a tad emo ish hahahaha The singlet was an "over sized" singlet, but I do not DO over sized! So I took it in with a sewing machine myself :) V. proud of myself haha

Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm + FOTD + Uggies :)

Yesterday I exchanged a Clarins moisturizer because, after using for 4 weeks (hoping it would get better), it broke me out horribly, but because the moisturizer was $78 and my regular Clarins moisturizer was only $45 I had a few extra dollars to spend. So I purchased this lip balm :) It's less sheer than what I usually go for, but I actually don't mind it. I won't be repurchasing because it's not ultra moisturizing like my regular $10 lip gloss, and it's too dark for me; However, I do reccomend this as it is a beautiful colour! Even though it isn't "solid" like most lip balms, it does dry less shiney than a gloss :) But still has a subtle sheen which is really nice! So if you're not ready for lipstick but don't like have sticky glossy lips, then this might be for you :) It's approximately $26  - I'm shocking with remembering the prices! haha

The above picture was me trying to be all arty haha I was taking it as though I was reading the back sorta thing -Here's what the packaging says about this Lip Balm:

"Fresh, Luminous lip balm in fruit-inspired colours with a sweet fruity aroma and taste. Deeply replenishes lips with soothing moisture for lasting comfort."

Love the scent, taste and colour but like I said before, it's not moisturizing enough for me - but my lips are SUPER dry

Below is my face of the day :) I'm having difficulties with my camera, buttt I was trying to show you the glow on my cheeks, but it didn't show :( ANyways I'm using Chi Chi blush in Burning Up and Revlon Bare It All in 245 Peachy Tease which gives me a really nice glow :) I'll try to get better pictures!!! Still sorting out the settings.....

Mitchdowd Boxers are the BEST! from Myers :D have had these ones since Year Nine, so about 5 years!!!

And each winter I get myself one or two pairs of Cotton On Ugg Boots :) for only $24.95!!! They;re horrible quality and get smelly and dirty and break apart in about a month or two, but like for under $25 and they're way comfy....

Haul:31/12 + OOTD

I went into Rundle Mall today to see if Lush still had their sale on, and they didnt! Omg so upset! I was so smart thinking that if I waited a week they'd have awesome sales, trying to get rid of their Xmas stock like last year, but everything was gone!!!
I really wantted to try the Star Melts after reading countless reviews from other bloggers!

Priceline
I was dragged into Priceline by my friend, and thank godness, because they had a 50% sale off ALL Bourjois products!!!
Bourjois really is a hit and miss brand with me, I LIKE most of their products, but dont find them that GREAT. These items are their eyeliners, mascaras and foundations.
However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE their blush pots!!
They're too gorgeous.
The packaging, the mini brush, the mirror, and the gorgeous pigmented colouurs they have.
34 Rose D'or

03 Brun Cuivre

Swatches and Reviews will come shortly :)
Ive also wanted to try out the Bourjois Pressed Powder after reading a review on someones blogger (forgot who's) and considering it was 50% off I thought that this was the time to buy! Even though I have a trillion powders I need to use up.
I purchased the Compact Powder in 71 Beige Clair.
Its yellowed based, and is very similar to my MAC Select Sheer/Pressed Powder in NC15 colour wise.

The Only thing I don't like about this product (so far, I havent actually used it enoughh to give my over all opinion) is the puff!! Ill be using a Suede MAC puff instead :)
The blush pots were only $10 each, and the powder was $11.50!

Myer
Then we went to Myer, and went straight to the back of the Beauty section to check out the Chi Chi collection. I ignored all the high end beauty counters because Im loaded at the moment and Im trying not to spend it all!!

Chi Chi
In Jordys blog she uses Chi Chi products sometimes, and they always seem to look lovely, so Ive been meaning to test out some of these products for a while.
I purhcased 3 items

Burning Up Blush $20 something? (lost the receipt)


Miss Personality e/s $16ish


Centrefold e/s $16ish (The flash like ruined the actual colour, swatches will be coming)



Sugar Baby
I also got a bath & body kit from Sugar Baby which was on sale
was $12/95
sale $9.07

I got this mainly because of the cute makeup bag :) Its pink and sparkly lol and like considering if you bought a makeup bag like this from Diva or Sportsgirl your gonna spend $10+ anyways, so in my head I was getting the free Body Wash, Hand Cream, and Body Creme.
Haven't tried these out yet, but will review them soon :)

Lastly I got the Island Glow Tan Enhancing Shimmer Oil from Sugar Baby
There was a huge table filled with these mini items (there was tan, lotion, etc) and they were only $4.95!
Haven't tried it yet, but I smelt it and its delicious! like coconuts! num num num


I have another haul from the Boxing Day sales, I didnt buy ANY clothes what so ever, because al the sizes are 10+ and Im a 6-8 (AUS) and they're always sold out. So Ill be loading up that haul, plus a shoot load of reviews!

OOTD
Okay, its like 40degrees today, I walked to the bus stop (3mins away) and I was sweating like mad! Thankgod I didn't actually dress up. Its way too hot for that.
I didn't even straighten my hair, firstly cos its too hot and it'll go frizzy no matter how much product I use (and I don't wanna use product cos I gotta get my hair lovely for tonight) and secondly because I'm trying to have 5 out of 7 days per week NON HEAT days :)

Omfg its New Years Eve!!! I don't know what I'll wear, it's SO hot, and they say it may even rain? Like WTF? Im not in Darwin anymore... Crazy crazy.
